Okay guys so here's chapter 2, I hope you like it! It's getting better, I promise!
Yui awoke the next morning feeling good, she had felt homesick every other day, but today was different. She felt happy, like she could do anything.
She bit her bottom lip and got ready in a hurry. She had somewhere to go before school.
XXXXXXXXXX
Chinatsu woke up that morning, thinking of Yui, as she had every day since she had meet her. She laid awake in her bed, thinking of those words, playing them over and over again in her mind.
"I'll protect you."
Every time Chinatsu thought of those words she fell in love with Yui even more.
Chinatsu rolled over and gave her pillow a long hard squeeze. She sighed deeply into its cold, soft surface and whispered "I love you Yui-san."
Realizing she was going to be late for school, she hurried out of bed and into the bath room; she quickly fixed her long, pink hair and brushed her teeth. Smiling at her mirror, she spun herself around a few times to get a good look at herself. She spun around one last time but stopped mid-spin. Something standing behind her caught her eye.
"Yui-san!" she shouted in surprise and delight. "When..…how long have you been standing there?" she asked slightly embarrassed.
"Long enough to know you really like to look at yourself." said Yui happily.
Chinatsu just laughed. Yui smiled, thinking her laugh had to be the cutest she had ever heard.
"Your mom let me in and told me to come get you; I thought we could walk to school together today." Yui said cheerfully.
"Sounds good!" Chinatsu said.
Chinatsu knew that her house was out of the way of Yui's usual way to school, but didn't say anything, for fear of embarrassing her yet again.
"I'll be done in a sec" Chinatsu said giving her hair another quick fluff before walking past Yui and back into her room to get dressed.
"I'll just wait for you out in the hall" said Yui reaching for the door knob.
"Wait" said Chinatsu in a small, almost inaudible voice, taking hold of Yui's hand. "I want you to stay with me."
Yui felt her face turn a slight red. "Okay" she said, thinking, almost fantasying about what might happen next.
"Come here" Chinatsu said in her sweet voice as she led Yui over to the end of her bed. "Sit" she commanded.
Yui took a seat and felt her cheeks turn even redder.
"Aren't you embarrassed?" Yui asked the pink haired girl who was looking through her closet for a fresh uniform.
"Why would I be?" she asked spinning around with her clothes in her hand. "I love you Yui-san!" she said with a smile that beamed like the morning sun in summer.
Yui could tell her face was as bright a red as it has ever been. "thanks." She said sheepishly.
"And besides" Chinatsu continued "I honestly don't think you judge people by looks."
"Well that's true." Yui agreed. Yui looked over at Chinatsu's alarm clock, they had 20 minutes until first bell and Yui intended on using every second wisely.
"Oi Chinatsu?" Yui said to get the girl's attention.
"Yes?" he said spinning around again to look at Yui.
"Hurry up. I want to go to the club room before class starts." she said in a sheepish tone.
"Or..." Chinatsu said playfully. "We could just stay here all day!" she suggested.
Then as if on cue, the two girls could hear Chinatsu's mother leave the house and drive off in her car.
"You want to skip school?" asked Yui.
Chinatsu laid her uniform on her pillow and sat directly behind Yui on her bed. "Well we could…" Chinatsu suggested.
"We could..." said Yui "But-"She was cut off by the feeling of Chinatsu's arms wrap around her, one arm about her waist, the other around her shoulder. Yui could feel Chinatsu's warm breath hit her already burning hot cheeks.
"Yui-san?" whispered Chinatsu in Yui's ear.
"Y-yeah…?" answered Yui, beginning to relax.
"I-I love you…" stuttered Chinatsu.
There was a long silence that seemed to last forever.
Then, feeling defeated, Chinatsu released Yui's body and sat still, hanging her head. "Sorry" she said her voice sounding like she was trying not to cry.
Yui turned around and looked at her young friend, she reached out one hand and lifted Chinatsu's chin and looked her in the eyes.
She stared into her big blue eyes, and took her other hand and placed it on Chinatsu's waist. There was another long silence between the two girls. Yui leaned in slightly, but it was just enough to tell Chinatsu what to do. Their faces moved together, their eyes slowly closing, their lips just inches apart.
"Yui, you don't-"Chinatsu was cut off by Yui's soft lips pressing on her's.
Chinatsu could swear that she heard wedding bells the second their lips met; she was so happy she felt like she could fly.
Yui just sat there scared of what might happen when their lips finally broke apart, but then Chinatsu put her hand on the back of her neck. Chinatsu pulled her closer and it almost felt like she would never let go, but Yui thought that it would be perfectly fine if she didn't.
Yui felt her body start tingling, she was clearly satisfied with what she was doing.
When the two girls did finally break apart, Chinatsu flew in to Yui's arms, and Yui took her in without hesitation.
"I love you too" she whispered in Chinatsu's ear, a smile smiling forming on her face. "I think…." She thought to herself, biting her bottom lip.
Still holding onto Yui, but loosening her grip enough to be able to look her in the face, she asked in a cute but serious voice: "Will you be my- my girlfriend?"
Yui sat there still holding onto Chinatsu unsure of what to say. "I have to do this gently." She thought to herself "I can't hurt her, especially after that."
Chinatsu blinked once and batted her large deep blue eyes, then, after a few moments of silence, she bit her lip. "Your straight, aren't you?" she asked understandingly.
"Straight, bi, gay… I don't think it really matters, all that truly matters is love." Yui said placing a hand on Chinatsu's shoulder.
Chinatsu looked confused because of Yui's answer. So trying to explain further, Yui continued.
"Look" she begun "I love you, but I'm…in a very confusing stage in life and I'm not sure I'm ready for a relationship, especially one like… like this. I mean, I might be… but I'm still unsure."
Chinatsu still looked confused.
"How about this? You let me take you out this weekend and we'll see how it goes. Sound good?"
"You mean like a date!" asked Chinatsu excitedly.
"Uhh" said Yui sweat dropping and smiling while scratching the back of her head "I guess we can call it that, if you want. But don't you think calling it that is kind of…well, embarrassing?"
"It's not embarrassing!" said Chinatsu, her smiling beaming "I'm going on a date with Yui-san!"
